"Improvisation techniques" formation
Presentation of the training course
Trainees meet with the CMDL’s team of reference teachers every month for an immersive day on “Improvisation Techniques.”
This training course allows participants to discover improvisation or perfect their skills, consolidate rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic concepts (improvisation, interpretation), and learn a new working method specific to jazz. At the end of the course, trainees receive a CMDL certificate.
Training objectives
At the end of the training, trainees will be able to read a rhythm chart, recognize intervals and chords, and play a jazz standard.

Training financing options:
Although this training is not eligible for the CPF (Personal Training Account), various professional training financing options may be available depending on the trainee’s personal situation (performing artist, artist-author, job seeker, or other). We invite you to inquire directly with the AFDAS or OPCO to which your employer belongs. You can also contact your local regional authority or France Travail advisor.
Afdas
As a training partner for professionals in the fields of culture, communication, media, and leisure, AFDAS offers several financing solutions depending on your status (skills development plan, CIF, etc.).
Your region
Your local authority is committed to helping young people train and facilitating their entry into the job market. Contact your region to find out about the support measures in place.
France Travail
When existing funding mechanisms (those of local authorities, OPCOs, etc.) cannot cover your training project, either partially or entirely, contact your France Travail advisor to see if you are eligible for Individual Training Assistance (AIF), which will contribute to the financing of your training costs.
